Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage Rose 2016

Grand Vintage Rose 2016 is Moet & Chandon's vintage prestige rose, made only in strong years and showing the house's signature fresh, fruit-forward style.

Medium pink with brilliant reflections, the wine shows immediate fruitiness with syrupy red fruits, crushed strawberry, raspberry and late-summer blueberry, lifted by floral notes of rose, hibiscus and violet, with nuances of gingerbread and chocolate powder. The palate is tender, supple and harmonious, with perfectly ripe raspberry and a light structure that yields to a delicate sweetness, finishing slightly astringent and airy.
